Book Club Book #119: Da Big Dakka by Mike Brooks

Every two weeks we read a new book in the WH40k universe and discuss it on our podcast. We invite you to read along with us and join in on our conversation via comments, Twitter, email, or vox cast.

For this episode, we finally have a new book to read and it’s not just new to us! It’s new to everybody! We’re diving into a new Ufthak Blackhawk book, Da Big Dakka by Mike Brooks. You can purchase it at Amazon or Black Library, or on Audible.

From the back of the book:

Out of options, Ufthak leads his Waaagh! through the mysterious webway, to a place where kunnin’, sneakin’, and thinkin’ are the name of the game. A place with little truck for muscle and brawn – Commorragh, the Dark City.

Here, where kabals and haemonculus covens pump psychic viscera into the warp, Ufthak is thrown into gladiatorial combat and soon finds himself up against an archon who will stop at nothing to prove she deserves to rule the Dark City – even if it means bringing Commorragh down around her.

But the Drukhari are about to discover that while orks may be simple, very little about them is ever straightforward.

Questions to ponder after reading Da Big Dakka:

• Did you like the book?
• Which parts stood out to you?
• Ufthak is back! What do you make of his continued journey in life?
• Orks vs. Drukhari is an odd pairing. What did you make of the chaos that ensues?
• Were you invested in Dhaemira’s scheming and motivations?
• This is another look into Commorragh and its politics. What most stood out to you?
• Saving the most important question for last: Where does Snaggi go from here? Was he robbed?
